Someone upthread was speculating about Bush ties to the UAE. Here's an article about that.
The oil-rich United Arab Emirates is a major investor in The Carlyle Group, the private equity investment group where the President's father once served as senior advisor, and is a who's who of former high level government officials... Just last year, Dubai International Capital, a government buyout firm, invested in an 8 billion dollar Carlyle fund. Another family connection, the president's brother, Neil Bush, has reportedly received funding for his education software company from UAE investors.

My sister wants my six-year-old to be her flower girl. The thing is, I have a little boy, not a girl.
